Scientific Summary - evidence-based gum therapy
Gum disease and implant infections are common issues in dentistry, leading to tooth and implant loss. Traditional treatments may not always be effective in stopping inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration. Horch (2018) introduces a non-antibiotic approach using active oxygen technology: OXYSAFE®, developed by Ardoz Healthcare International and distributed by Hager & Werken in Germany.

How Active Oxygen Works
OXYSAFE® utilizes a patented active oxygen method that oxidizes protein structures in bacterial biofilms upon contact with the oral mucosa. This process effectively deactivates anaerobic bacteria, even in deep gum and peri-implant pockets. Unlike chlorhexidine and antibiotics, this technology can penetrate biofilms without disrupting oral flora or causing resistance.
Clinical Effects and Scientific Support
The article highlights significant clinical benefits, including reduced pocket depth, inflammation reduction, and improved gum health. Studies, including research from Radboud University Nijmegen, show a decrease in pathogenic bacteria and an average 56% reduction in pocket depth. In cases of peri-implantitis, there was observed partial re-osseointegration in 75% of patients, even in high-risk groups like smokers. Notably, over 80% of diabetic patients with chronic wounds experienced significant healing.
Biocompatibility and Patient Safety
OXYSAFE® is biocompatible, non-cytotoxic, and free from peroxides or radicals, making it safe for use in periodontal and peri-implant therapy without harming cells or bone tissue.
Dual Treatment Approach
The treatment protocol involves professional application of OXYSAFE® Perio Protection Gel by the dentist in affected pockets, followed by patient use of OXYSAFE® Liquid Mouthwash at home. This combination promotes long-term gum stability and reduces the risk of reinfection.
Relevance in Modern Dentistry
This oxygen-based therapy meets the demand for minimally invasive, evidence-based, and antibiotic-sparing approaches in periodontics and implantology. OXYSAFE® offers dental professionals a scientifically backed alternative that combines clinical effectiveness with patient safety.
